Though the passenger facilities are located within Hoboken, large parts of the infrastructure that supports them are located in [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]]. The Hoboken/Jersey City line cuts across the [[rail yard]] at a northwest diagonal from the river to the intersection of [[Grove Street (Hudson County)|Grove Street]] and [[Newark Plank Road|Newark Street]]. It is at this corner that [[County Route 681 (Hudson County, New Jersey)|Observer Highway]] begins running parallel to the tracks and creating a [[de facto]] border for Hoboken.<ref>{{Cite book |publisher=Hagstrom Map Company, Inc |isbn=978-0-88097-763-0 |title=Hudson County New Jersey Street Map |year=2008}}</ref> Motor vehicle access to the station is extremely limited. At the eastern end of Observer Highway, buses are permitted to enter their terminal. Other vehicles are required to do a dog-leg turn onto [[Hudson Place (Hoboken)|Hudson Place]]. This {{convert|0.05|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} street (designated [[List of county routes in Hudson County, New Jersey|CR 736]]) is the only one with motor vehicle traffic adjacent to the station.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/sldiag/09000736__-.pdf |title=Hudson County 736 straight line diagram |publisher=[[New Jersey Department of Transportation]] |access-date=October 7, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018095935/http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/sldiag/09000736__-.pdf |archive-date=October 18, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> In 2009, pedestrian access to the terminal from the south was made possible with the opening of a new segment of the [[Hudson River Waterfront Walkway]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Long Slip pedestrian bridge from Jersey City to Hoboken to open in September|first=Carly |last=Baldwin|url=http://www.nj.com/hobokennow/index.ssf/2009/08/long_slip_pedestrian_bridge_fr.html|newspaper=[[The Jersey Journal]]|location=Jersey City|date=August 26, 2009|access-date=February 21, 2010}}</ref>
